WP Blog - Where to begin

Hi BHW,

The Situation is thus:

I have a low-traffic blog, and I would like to turn it into a high-traffic blog. We currently have 2 full time writers and a guy who has done articles for us in the past; A steady update rate (Around 2/w) and mostly do technology rants and reviews.

We are hosted on my dedicated server, so bandwidth and hosting issues arn't a problem.

Basically, between us we know nothing about SEO. I have a fair bit of experience in PHP programming and web-server management, so anything that needs to be tweaked from a code/server perspective, I am good.

The blog is running the latest version of Wordpress and "All in One SEO Pack".

Basically, we havn't a clue where to go from here, and I would appreciate it if someone could say, in simple terms, where to go.

We are not looking to flip it for cash at the moment, just to get a larger reader-base, then we will consider monetarising it.

Cheers and Beers,
Josh Finch

go read some stuff in the SEO sections first, if you have a specific question maybe someone can help you, the search function is pretty awesome too...

<<<<---------Start here!

What is the blog about? Specifically!

Or you can PM me the blog domain, I will look at it.

On thing that you could do, off the top of my head is throw it into seo quake, with firefox. Check out the keyword density. What are the main keywords that go into the blog? What are the main keywords in the domain?

Honestly you are kind of taking this backwards. Most people start with keyword research and then go from there. You need to figure out what keywords you are going after, and then move from there.
